The military and government say the risk of conflict is growing, but we may not be mentally ready for it

If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?

    This is just pure hexbear rage bait. They will just publish any crap on the the BBC these days, huh?

    Finland’s approach to defence and security is also rooted in historical experience. Of the 100,000 Nordic citizens who died in the World War Two, 90% were from Finland. They died in the so-called Winter War of 1939-40 against the Soviet Union. This tiny country repelled an attack by its giant neighbour and retained its independence.

    Oh yeah great coherence there. 90,000 Finns died in WW2, but only in the Winter War in 39/40. What happened then, didn’t World War 2 go much longer? What did Finland do afte that? big-honk
